US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta has claimed that he and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, and General Carter Ham, head of the U.S. military's Africa Command, felt they couldn't 'put forces at risk in that situation.'

'This happened within a few hours and it was really over before, you know, we had the opportunity to really know what was happening,' said Panetta.

Fox News says that there were two military surveillance drones above the skies of Benghazi during the attack.

When asked why the West is ignoring the massacres in Bani Walid, US Department of State Spokesperson Victoria Nuland told RT that Washington is “watching the situation very closely” while its position on this situation remains “absolutely clear.”

"Special Forces Lt. Col. Andrew Wood of the Utah National Guard had been the top security official for the Benghazi consulate for several months before the assassinations.

"Coming as he does from Utah, a state largely dominated by the Mormons, we may safely assume that Lt. Col. Wood is either a member or ally of the Mormon Church.

"Lt. Col. Wood testified that he had asked the State Department in Washington for additional security personnel, but never received the requested reinforcements. But other witnesses pointed out that Wood’s application had been incomplete, since he never substantiated his request with descriptions of a specific threat, thus making it difficult to grant."

Admiral James Lyons suggests the Obama administration deliberately lessened the levels of security at the consulate.

In October 2012, the Western Center for Journalism suggested the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens was the result of a failed kidnapping attempt by terrorists working for the US government.

What went wrong with the Obama plan was that, according to information obtained by Fox News, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, both former U.S. Navy Seals, ignored orders to "stand down" and fought vigorously for hours in their attempt to defend the compound.

By 2030, Indonesia could be the 7th largest economy in the world, overtaking Germany and the UK.

TB, typhoid, cholera, and AIDS are problems in the Jakarta slums.

What about the slums in Jakarta?

In 2007, the Indonesian government said it would build 1,000 apartment towers for poor slum dwellers by 2011.

But five years later, only about 100 of the towers have been built.

And, the towers are occupied mainly by the rich, as the poor have not been able to get bank loans.

Indonesia is the 4th largest country in the world in terms of population.

"It ranks above India and Brazil in terms of macroeconomic stability, it has a rapidly growing middle class, creating a strong domestic market, and it has an abundance of natural resources including oil and gas, coal, tin, gold and crude palm oil."

Benjamin Britten shared a bed with the late actor David Hemmings, when he was a 12-year-old boy.

Hemmings said of Britten: "I did go to bed with him, but I didn’t go to bed with him in that way."

Britten expert John Bridcut said: "I interviewed eight boys who are now all middle-aged men and, while Britten’s behaviour was unusual, all of the men said his friendship had been entirely beneficial..."

"Meanwhile, a former police officer, Harry Templeton, had spent 19 years collecting evidence of mismanagement and personal misconduct by senior police officers, including Chief Constable David Owen and his Deputy Eric Evans. He sent his 19 page dossier to the Home Office and this led to two concurrent investigations, one by Her Majesty's Inspectorate and one by the Chief Constable of Warwickshire, Peter Joslin.

"Clwyd County Council then commissioned a report, by John Jillings, former head of Derbyshire Social Services, to look specifically at the allegations of child abuse. The report never officially saw the light of day. Only twenty copies of the report were produced and each one was numbered. The report remains veiled in secrecy - even to those identified as victims within its 300-odd pages.

"Clwyd Council, on the advice of its lawyers, said the report could not be published due to concerns about libel. Councillors and officials had been told by lawyers for the Council's insurers to shut up about the report otherwise they could be made personally liable for any compensation claims from the 200 known victims, which could run into millions."
